Answer to Question 1

C
Glomerulonephritis is primarily seen in children and young adults, and affects males more often than females. It most commonly occurs about 2 to 3 weeks after a group A beta-hemolytic strep-tococcal infection, such as strep throat or impetigo; however, it can occur in response to bac-terial, viral, or parasitic infections elsewhere in the body. It is an immunologic problem caused by an antigen-antibody reaction. International travel and unprotected sexual activity are not causative agents for glomerulonephritis. While recent cipro therapy does indicate a recent bac-terial infection, it does not cause glomerulonephritis.

Answer to Question 2

B
Seeing flashing colored lights is an early warning symptom of retinal detachment.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
